Shoot 'em! The 10% that don't fire could be tossed into a rusty G.I. steel ammo can and used for a "cook-off" test (secure the lid, though). Toss that rusty can onto a fire and see how long it takes for the rounds to sound like popcorn popping.
It might surprise you!
If you want the easy way, just bundle up all of the ammo and take it to your local fire or police station. My bet is that there will be an experienced shooter that will take the chance of shooting it!
Of course, you can go through the effort and time of pulling all of the bullets with pliers, but....
WHY? You'll STILL have the primed casings to get rid of....and you shouldn't just toss them in the trash can. Add to that, by lighting the gunpowder with a match COULD cause a flare-up, but the powder CAN be compromised by soaking it in old car oil.
